| Riepilogo: | This article contrasts two approaches to the via negativa in the work of Colin Gunton and John Calvin.

Calvin’s close engagement with scriptural texts about divine alterity demonstrates how the via negativa may be a form of biblical reasoning and highlights the utility of exegesis for discerning the biblical logic of traditional modes of divine naming. |
